Signed PGP part Thanks Joel, as I said, that one is like sweeping
under the carpet, right ?

No, any Snort instance should be tuned to its environment.

I would concurr if the rule had some known false positives (none
documented) or if I was running some particular soft that could
be causing benign triggers, which I'm not.

That being the case, it seems a good case to troubleshoot the rule,
either it or my installation has some fault.


Snort is surprisingly quiet too. Other than this, it seems all
the bad guys went on vacation...

Try running with "-k none" turned on.

I will, but I fail to understand why. I'm not seeing cheksum errors.
In fact, in 10 minutes I have now (after suppressing 3:19187 and adding
- -k none) some 3:21355:2 - mismatched txid.

Fact is, I checked one of the triggering events and the TXID was ok.
(answer had same TXid as query).

On this one, it seems that the rule is triggering on answers to a
ROOT dns query. That one also makes me wonder why is bind asking
for that.

The easiest way to deal with this one is, if you aren't running
the tmg firewall client, shut the rule off.

Hi, I've recently installed snort on a home border server.
(again, this is a complete re-install of my place
infrastructure :)

I keep snort running, not frequently updated, just to have
some sense of activity. Upload alerts to dshield too.

This time, snort remained way too silent. But 3:19187:2 is
firing with many of my server's DNS queries. (bind9 forwarder)

I've search for clues but this seems to be an so rule and I
don't know how to troubleshoot this. I guess I can disable the
rule, but that's just going to hide the issue. I do have a
capture of one incident triggering the rule, not that it is
difficult to reproduce (

Help ? TIA,
